Homemade Strawberry and Plum Pop-tarts

Shaheen @ The purple foodie made these wonderful strawberry pop-tarts a couple of days back and I just had to make them! Unfortunately for me, I had no strawberry jam, but I did have some plum preserve which used as a substitute.

It was a real winner!! perfect perfect! the other big change I made was use whole flour instead of plain flour.

mmmmm

I had a bit of an oozing problem though… the filling just kept oozing out.. but thats OK.. just took a while to clean up my baking sheet 😛

@Shaheen:I had a pack of strawberries in the refrigerator and I thought: what the heck? :P.. besides this is really the best time to get the best, freshest strawberries.

Well I try using whole flour as far as I can there is a difference in the result though.. all purpose is more elastic while whole isn’t… if you bake a cake or bread using whole it doesn’t rise that much… while all purpose rises a LOT.. so you may have to add a little more baking soda/powder/yeast in the case of whole.. but I don’t mind doing that rather than having that fiber-less stuff stick to my gut.. 😛
